BF1 IS not playable on i5 CPUs- Release a Patch

this is for EA – people report that they could play the game smoothly when it released back in 2016 even with i5 CPUs actually i don’t see that the graphics are that awesome to bottleneck i5 CPUs as i play BF4 and i get over 100+ fps on ultra preset all my games are soo smooth although it recommends an i7 cpu like the witcher 3
and since You’re Releasing updates to fix issues and bugs please consider to release an update to help people play BF1 smoothly on i5 CPUs because your game is not playable on all presets and your irrespnsible behaviour will stop gamers from purchasing your upcoming game (BFV) actually i am not planning to buy a game that will work fine for a couple of months then it will get broken Like BF1
Please Release a Patch to Fix this

That’s the thing about PC. Devs aren’t obligated to make games work with every different set up, and especially not set ups with 6 year old processors.

My best advice is to upgrage anyway. Games are only going to get more graphics intensive.

The game certainly has issues when it comes to CPU. It would be nice if they could get those spikes under control. That being said, I had awful trouble getting the game running smoothly on even the lowest settings. It wasn’t until using some hack work arounds on my end that I managed to get the game running a solid 70 FPS on Ultra with an old FX8350.

my i54690k handles BF1 just fine v0v

They should make a “lowest level of detail” option..

Another game I play has something like this. It turns a demanding game into a game that anything can run.. Even a PC without a dedicated GPU..

it’s not 6 year old it’s an i5 6500

just tell me how

they should do that

no idea, i’ve not tweaked anything. running just fine and dandy at high/max on everything.

Problem is that much of the cpu-usage is not for graphics but for destruction, bullet physics etc. These things cannot be “toned down” so they are probably not able to do anything about it.

BF5 will probably be even worse…

glad u told me that won’t buy bfv untill i upgrade

Since the last patch I’ve noticed an increase in CPU usage in maps like Amiens. My old i7 - 3770 is suffering.

i’m done with dice and ea won’t purchase any of their games any more

On console (Xbox) is you don’t have a SSD the UI slowness and all load/quit time are so frustrating, the game is really not suited for anything else but the ONE X. You start the game late, flags taken already in conquest.

(Just got a external SSD for my S, it gives so much better gaming experience). You’d think with the minimum hardware requirements BF1 would provide an all around good experience, but no…
